Blockchain Engineer ‑ Copy-Trade Protocol at Zignaly
Mission:Emit immutable trade clones at the speed of mempools. Engineer on-chain vault + relay contracts that ingest master signals, laser-bridge them across EVM chains, and absorb slippage, MEV, and NFL Sunday-level volatility without exposing followers to liquidation contagion.
Stack & Level Requirements
- Solidity 0.8.25+ via Foundry toolchain (Forge, Anvil, Cast) or Rust/Anchor on Solana
- Proficiency: Huff / Yul inlines for gas micro-optimisations, EIP-712 signing, EIP-1167 minimal proxies
- Cross-layer bridges: LayerZero, Wormhole, CCIP + custom relayers for <2 s finality
- MEV-Geth style searchers – understand sandwich mechanics to architect commit-reveal patterned entry pools
- Price oracles: Chainlink CCIP-read, Pyth, custom tick-level fallback for sub-$0.05 deviation error in volatility freak events
- Security toolkit: Slither, Mythril, Echidna fuzz 1e6 vars/run, invariant bracelets as code
- Gas profiling: forge-std Vm for on-chain gas snapshots pre-per-release hook
